This is our massed choir – bringing together our choirs, our 4 singing communities from all across Auckland, plus Taupo & Tauranga
Our singers come from all walks of life, and range from teenagers to oldies, and everything in between. They come from a variety of musical and singing backgrounds - some can read music and some can't. Some have been in choirs before, some not since school days, and for some this is their first ever experience of being in a choir. There's no typical All Together Now member
Some videos and audio recordings from performances this year, including our previous concert at St Matthews are on our website

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
